Abstract

An X-ray sensing device includes a photosensitive element, lead-containing glass, and an X-ray conversion structure. The photosensitive element is configured to sense light having a first wavelength. The lead-containing glass overlaps the photosensitive element. The X-ray conversion structure is disposed on the lead-containing glass. The lead-containing glass is located between the photosensitive element and the X-ray conversion structure. The X-ray conversion structure is configured to at least partially convert X-rays into light having the first wavelength.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An X-ray sensing device, comprising:
 a photosensitive element configured to sense light having a first wavelength;

 an X-ray conversion structure arranged on the lead-containing glass, and the lead-containing glass is located between the photosensitive element and the X-ray conversion structure, wherein the X-ray conversion structure is configured to at least partially convert X-rays into light having the first wavelength, wherein the X-ray conversion structure comprises:
 a scintillator layer; 
 a metal layer overlapping with the scintillator layer; 
 an anti-moisture layer surrounding the scintillator layer and the metal layer; 
 a first flexible substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, wherein the scintillator layer is formed on the first surface; 
 an adhesive layer formed on the second surface; and 
 a second flexible substrate overlapping with the first flexible substrate, wherein the metal layer is formed on the second flexible substrate, and the adhesive layer is adhered to the metal layer, wherein the anti-moisture layer surrounds the first flexible substrate, the scintillator layer, the adhesive layer, the metal layer, and the second flexible substrate. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The X-ray sensing device of  claim 1 , wherein a weight percentage of lead oxide in the lead-containing glass is 10 wt % to 75 wt %, and a thickness of the lead-containing glass is 0.5 mm to 5 mm. 
     
     
       3. The X-ray sensing device of  claim 1 , further comprises:

 a first electrode electrically connected to the active element, wherein the first electrode comprises a transparent conductive material; 
 a photosensitive layer formed on the first electrode; and 
 a second electrode formed on the photosensitive layer, wherein the first electrode is closer to the lead-containing glass than the second electrode. 
 
     
     
       4. The X-ray sensing device of  claim 1 , further includes: an optical glue layer is formed on the lead-containing glass, and the optical glue layer is bonded to the X-ray conversion structure. 
     
     
       5. The X-ray sensing device as described in  claim 1 , further comprises:
 a substrate overlapping with the lead-containing glass; 
 an active element formed on the substrate, and the active element and the photosensitive element are located between the substrate and the lead-containing glass, wherein the photosensitive element comprises: 
 a first electrode electrically connected to the active element; 
 a photosensitive layer formed on the first electrode; and 
 a second electrode formed on the photosensitive layer, wherein the first electrode is closer to the substrate than the second electrode, and the second electrode comprises a transparent conductive material. 
 
     
     
       6. An X-ray sensing device, comprising:
 a photosensitive element configured to sense light having a first wavelength; 
 a lead-containing glass overlapping with the photosensitive element; 
 an X-ray conversion structure arranged on the lead-containing glass, and the lead-containing glass is located between the photosensitive element and the X-ray conversion structure, wherein the X-ray conversion structure is configured to at least partially convert X-rays into light having the first wavelength; and 
 a bank structure located above the lead-containing glass and surrounding the X-ray conversion structure, wherein the X-ray conversion structure comprises:
 a scintillator layer formed on the lead-containing glass and surrounded by the bank structure; 
 a first protection layer formed on the scintillator layer; 
 a metal layer formed on the first protection layer and overlapping with the scintillator layer; and 
 a second protection layer formed on the metal layer. 
 
 
     
     
       7. The X-ray sensing device of  claim 4 , wherein the bank structure comprises a multilayer structure, and the first protection layer extends from the scintillator layer into the bank structure.
